Mr. Fox (United States of America), speaking in explanation of vote before the voting, said that he had no desire to go yet again into the reasons why his delegation was opposed to the Rome Statute. The United States of America was not seeking to undermine the International Criminal Court. Respecting as it did the right of every country to become a party to the Statute, it was entitled to expect that its own decision would be respected as well.
Fox (Estados Unidos de América), explicando su voto antes de la votación, reafirma, sin desear volver a referirse a las razones por las que su país se opone al Estatuto de Roma, que los Estados Unidos no pretenden en modo alguno a socavar la Corte Penal Internacional y que respetan el derecho de cada país de pasar a ser parte en ese Estatuto, razón por la que su propia decisión también debe ser respetada.
